Package: libclc-amdgcn
Version: 0.2.0+git20160907-3
Severity: important
Tags: upstream patch
Running the "clinfo" utility (with AMD GPU), from the package of the
same name, produces the following openCL compile error:
unsupported call to function get_local_size
This is a known problem, and is being widely complained of, as it makes
openCL unusable on AMD GPUs:

Fortunately, a patch is now available from Mesa upstream:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99856#c24
However, it is suggested that "distros will probably have to apply that
patch individually":
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=130136
Please do so; until this is done, libclc-amdgcn is effectively unusable.
